Tiny Tim on Laugh-in 29/4/1968 Season 1 Episode 15

Herbert Butros Khaury (April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996), also known as Herbert Buckingham Khaury, and known professionally as Tiny Tim, was an American musician and musical archivist. He is especially known for his 1968 hit recording of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", a cover of the popular song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Me" from the 1929 musical Gold Diggers of Broadway. Tiny Tim was renowned for his wide vocal range, in particular his far-reaching falsetto.

Tremendous musical talent. And when combined with Dick Martin’s facial expressions a rip roaring laugh riot.

I was working in an art class at a high school. The teacher allowed several students to select music for the class to listen to during class time on YouTube. Then the teacher said my turn and with a grin selected Tip Toe Through the Tulips. Both he and I started to laugh, he' s a few years older. The students expressions were priceless

Tiny tim was an unusual person that carved a niche out for himself and created a tremendous following in show business. He was a musical archivist who recreated old standards from the early 20 century. He performed until his death on stage in the 1990s. They say he was a very kind human being
RIP Tiny Tim.

Laugh In brought Tiny to incredible national prominence. The entire cast was used to introduce him in this appearance. Truly amazing phenomenon.

[UserGuy-gl]

He brought a lot of old standards back into mainstream consciousness. That was Mr. Khaury's chief contribution.

tiny tim is like stuck out of time, he’s so timeless he feels like someone you would find in the dungeon of a castle

[glamgal]

In my opinion, the name Tiny Tim is synonymous with the word icon. The man was definitely a talented musician, singer, and performer. Although he was known for singing in his trademark falsetto voice, Tiny actually had quite a wide vocal range. Additionally, he could play a variety of musical instruments. Tiny Tim is sadly missed yet fondly remembered.

Ok, odd as hell, yet sublime. I was in my teens and playing poker at a friend's house when this was broadcast. We almost wet our pants laughing. But now, what would I give for the fun and innocents of this sort of thing on TV?

[JoanSmith-tk]

I was around then; Tiny Tim was in the right place at the right time - even Ed Sullivan couldn’t understand his EXTREME popularity …

[gracehampton]

I must admit his singing was quite good.

[dylanakent]

Tiny was an expert on late 19th and early 20th century music. 🌷⚘⚘⚘🌷🥀

[Fluke_Starbucker]

Wow Bruce Lee was alive and a rising star during this time, it's so surreal.

[chinesejohn]

I’m learning all his songs on ukulele now 😊

[nancyf]

I remember it from K Tel. Now when I'm alone in our warehouse with a broken Kubota, I sing:
Liftow, fix our forklift,
Fix our you
pleeeease!"

[pintorremo]

The time when tiny tim was treated like a god

[anguscummings]

We need a Rowan and Martin "Best of Tiny Tim " special already.

[WytZox]

* When we 1st saw him we thought he was a Laugh In cast member doing a goofy character. But ... He was for real!

[jeepliving]

Search "Tiny Tim & The Enchanted Forest Earth Angel" on YouTube for a performance on Ed Sullivan. He switches back and forth between his baritone voice (sounds a lot like Elvis!) and his signature falsetto.

[LuisGarcia-hqsf]

Muchos lo criticaron, se burlaron de el y no creyeron en el, , pero a el no le importo nada de eso, el solo creía en sus sueños y hacerlos realidad y lo hizo callando bocas...
